A few issues ago, you may remember we treated you to a whole feature devoted to ladies’ nights. Yet while our five-page article may have been extensive, it was in no way exhaustive. The glorious thing is that ladies’ nights are a Dubai institution, with new venues and events added every week, while the existing nights get bigger and better. So much so that a bar we just reviewed has gone and revamped its night already.

As we told you, Healey’s ladies’ night is a smart-casual affair with three delicious free drinks for ladies. The event is usually pleasantly busy, not surprising considering the well-priced bar food and snacks on offer. But the music previously left something to be desired.

Enter DJ Venus. As she explained to us, you can’t have a fully-fledged ladies’ night without a female DJ. And she’s not just any female DJ. One of the few women in Dubai who has managed to establish a name for herself in the male-dominated world of mixing, Venus has played after-parties for John Legend and the Black Eyed Peas. And now that Healey’s ladies’ night has some awesome music, we’re less upset about the onset of summer making the terrace a no-go.
